Traditional song and singers are thriving these days, spurred by weekly gatherings at An Góilín singers' club, Cork Singers' Club and the Clé Club, among others. Jerry O'Reilly is a linchpin of An Góilín, and Havoc in Heaven is his second solo CD in 10 years. It is a strapping collection that traces a circuitous route through tales of forced emigration, marine tragedy (The Titanic gets a timely airing), labour songs and, fittingly, a salute to the late Frank Harte, a long-time mentor of Irish singers at home and away.SIOBHÁN LONG
